Townes Van Zandt - T For Texas lyrics

T for Texas, T for Tennesee T for Texas, T for Tennessee T for Thelma That gal made a wreck out of me If you don't want me mama You sure don't have to stall If you don't want me mama You sure don't have to stall 'Cause I can get more women Than a pa**enger train can haul I'm gonna buy me a pistol Just as long as I'm tall, Lawd, Lawd I'm gonna buy me a pistol Just as long as I'm tall I'm gonna shoot poor Thelma Just to see her jump and fall I'm gonna buy me a shotgun With a great long shiny barrel I'm gonna buy me a shotgun With a great long shiny barrel I'm gonna shoot that rounder That stole my gal Rather drink muddy water Sleep in a hollow log Rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollow log Than to be in Atlanta Treated like a dirty dog
